<p>how can i convey that i have had struggles in my life, like weak financial background and immigration, without sounding sour or like I am just listing facts?
how can i incorporate these struggles but make my essay stand out?</p>
<p>Use storytelling technique. Tell your personal stories of your struggles and how you overcame them. Don’t apologize or feel sorry for yourself. Tell each story as it is, incorporating an accepting/proud tone of how your history shaped who you are. </p>
<p>Hope this helps. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>I agree with coach</p>
